Thanks very much Arran. I will investigate it further. The spider may very well have detached itself and I just didn't notice. I didn't do a lot of poking around on it because I know all too well how fragile these cones can be. Another theory on what happened to it could be damage in shipping; that the radio took a hard drop face down. But if that was the case I would have expected to see cabinet damage too, which I didn't. I think the full volume theory may be the most likely culprit.
